Results from Impact Open 2022 - Tunbridge Wells Taekwon-Do

What a great start to the year! We took a team of 19 competitors to the Impact Open in Haywards Heath and returned with:
12x 🥇
10x 🥈
2x 🥉
Not everyone got a medal but the morning session was successful for many students getting on the mats for their first competition experience. Most people never find the courage to even try to get on the mats so well done!
Many thanks to Mrs Budd for refereeing all day and to Mrs Sweeney and Mr T for coaching. Special thanks must go to the parents of the students that supported them and the rest of the team and for everyone that stayed late to watch the adults compete. When almost everyone had left the hall it was great to see quite a few Tunbridge Wells students sticking around to watch their instructor compete.
Many thanks to GM Nardizzi and Mr Mayes for inviting us. We look forward to coming back next time.

Tunbridge Wells Taekwon-Do school is excellent in many respects. My son enjoys himself immensely at classes and the instruction is first rate. He learns discipline & a bit of Korean and the classes incorporate flexibility, strength as well as keeping fit. I thoroughly recommend this school.

Mr Thompson is a great instructor and my son loves training with him. TKD is wonderful for confidence, self-discipline, strength and flexibility and making new friends!

My son joined last September and absolutely loves it with Mr Thompson being his favourite teacher of all time!! The lessons are great fun and teach more than just Taekwon-Do i.e about things such as bullying which is brilliant - cant recommend enough (my son is 6yrs old)

My daughter has been attending classes at Tunbridge Wells Taekwon-Do for a few months now, and she is having a brilliant time. She looks forward to going every week, and learns so much during each class. I’m amazed by how much she’s learnt already, from kicks, punches and blocks, to Korean phrasing. Luke makes the lessons interesting and fun, and encourages them to push themselves, without them feeling pressured. She has just passed her first grading and is over the moon. I would highly recommend Luke’s classes.

Our son (6) has been doing Tae Kwon Do for more than a year with Tunbridge Wells Tae Kwon-Do. He thoroughly enjoys the classes and achieving his coloured belt stripes via the periodic tests. His core strength, confidence and concentration have improved throughout. The classes are energetic, fun and varied. In the classes the children also learn about how to deal with bullies and strangers, safety at home and balanced nutrition. Luke is a very positive, enthusiastic and professional instructor who the children clearly respect. Highly recommend.

My daughter (6) has been doing Taekwon-Do with Luke for 2 years now and she absolutely loves it. Classes in her age group are a mixture of Taekwon-Do practise and games to keep the children entertained. They learn discipline, improve confidence and also discuss how to stay safe. My daughter always looks forward to her grading and achieving the next rank. Luke is highly accomplished instructor, but most importantly he's very clearly a great teacher that knows how to work with children. Highly recommended.
